  • An FAA Part 135 certificate is the approval a company needs to fly on-demand charter for hire in the United States. Before issuing it, the FAA reviews the company's manuals, pilots, training, maintenance programme and every aircraft it adds, and its inspectors keep auditing the operation. An aircraft flown privately under Part 91 cannot legally be sold to you as a charter. Altivo Jets books flights only with licensed operators and names the operator on every quote.

Company

About Key Lime Air

Key Lime Air is a passenger and cargo charter airline based at Centennial Airport (Arapahoe County) in Englewood, south of Denver, Colorado. It is on call around the clock, every day of the year, and can launch with as little as two hours' notice to destinations across the United States, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean and South America.

Its fleet of more than 25 aircraft flies over 10,000 hours a year. Passenger charters use Fairchild Metro 23 turboprops and two regional jets, the Dornier 328JET and Embraer ERJ-145, carrying up to 30 passengers, which suits sports teams, company groups and crews. Cargo flies in Metro and Metro III freighters carrying up to 4,500 pounds. Key Lime Air also flies scheduled passenger routes sold by its partner Denver Air Connection.

The airline shows IS-BAO and Wyvern Registered Operator credentials and is a member of NATA and NBAA. For groups too large for a business jet but too small for an airliner, its regional jets fill a useful gap.
